SHANKS' NEW IMPROVED PATENT

LAWN MOWING, ROLLING, COLLECTING, and DELIVERING MACHINE for 1863, WITH SILENT MOVEMENT IF SPECIALLY DESIRED. FURTHER AND IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENTS-PROTECTED BY LETTERS PATENT.

THE FIRST PRIZE MEDAL OF THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION AWARDED TO ALEX. SHANKS AND SON

FOR THEIR PATENT LAWN MOWERS. NEW HAND MACHINE. 12-INCH or LADY'S MACHINE.

ALEXANDER SHANKS AND SON are gratified to find that the Improvements introduced into their PATENT LAWN MOWERS last season have been so entirely successful, that universal satisfaction has resulted from the use of these Machines wherever they have been tried. The Patentees have this season introduced further Improvements into their already celebrated Lawn Mowers, which are fully described in their Illustrated Price Lists, which will be at once forwarded on application.

SHANKS PATENT LAWN MOWERS are in use in the ROYAL GARDENS at KEW, WINDSOR, BUCKINGHAM PALACE, HAMPTON COURT, OSBORNE, and BALMORAL. They are also in use in many hundreds of the principal Gardens in the Kingdom, and in almost every country throughout the world, where their merits have been thuroughly tested, with the most satisfactory results.

These Machines will Mow EQUALLY WELL on UNEVEN as on LEVEL LAWNS, and whether the Grass be WET or Day. The execution of the work is not only vastly superior to Mowing with the Scythe, but the constant action of the Rollers on the Turf in a very short time greatly improves its appearance. The Machines are warranted to give ample satisfaction, and if not approved of they may be at once returned.
